(2) Some part of the body is used as a medium to produce the sound, but the final sound is produced by the instrument.Some parts of the body aid the production of sound (e.g., lungs, vocal tract, etc.), but the final sound emerges through the mouth.
(3) The output of the instrument is more or less of the same type, although the way the musician plays can give it an individualistic flavour.Individual voices vary from the very low bass to the very high tenor. Hence the output varies and is very individualistic.

Question 35 Marks
'Music is the medicine of the mind'. Narrate an experience that leads to the above conclusion, Write it in your own words in your Own Words.
Answer

Music is the medicine of the mind

Music is good therapy. It is particularly effective because it registers on multiple sites of the brain. This means that even if the brain is very badly affected by a stroke or illness, there are still parts of the brain that recognise music.
I remember how upset all of us were when Grandfather suffered a stroke. The left side of his body and almost all of his face were affected. The once great and active Grandpa now lay still on the bed and had to be fed through a tube going down his nostrils. Little Rani could not stop weeping.

Grandfather had once presented me with a mobile phone. He knew my love for music and had told me I could download my favourite songs and create a playlist and listen to them whenever I wanted to.
I would sit by Grandfather's bed whenever I was at home and had finished my studies and play the songs and listen to them.
One evening, to my surprise. I saw a shadow of a smile beginning to appear on Grandpa's face. At first I couldn't believe it. Then it became more definite and prominent. Grandpa was actually smiling!
I called Mom and Dad and Rani and everyone to see. Yes, Grandpa was indeed smiling. The music had reached out to him and had drawn out a response from him.
That was one of the happiest moments during his illness.
